I was wondering if anyone has ever used the TESTOR (model # 8821A) airbrush they sell at Wal-Mart.
I have been debating if I should buy an airbrush machine. Not sure if I would make enough cakes that it would be worth it.

I happened to be in Wal-Mart and came across this SMALL airbrush set $40 it is primarily used for small model cars and planes.
I am just wondering if anyone has ever used it if they could provide feed bad.

I'd really suggest that you get an airbursh specifically designed for cakes. Either of the popular KopyKake models are fine. DH got me a top fo the line airbrush for my birthday that was supposed to be all purpose--as in adaptable for model work, cakes, painting, etc. I could inflate a tire with that thing. Way too powerful, even on the lowest settings for cake work. At least for me.

You know I used that Model car airbrush from Walmart and I don't recommend it! For some reason it would get stuck all the time and I had alot of probles unclogging it. It was horrible. I just had to order one for cakes. HTH.

I do not have one, but have read lots of threads about them. (maybe you could do a search) but lots of people on here have the ones sold at Michaels or Hobby Lobby and use them without a problem. They use their 40 off coupon to get them cheaper.

Sounds like the one you are talking about may have a cheapness factor that might affect the quality of use.

Great

I am going down to OHIO this weekend (I am in Canada) and I will check to see if Hobby Lobby or Micheals has them in stock.

I know the micheals in canada does not have it
